The manager wants to lift the trophy with the Blues.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has won the Champions League twice and now wants to make it three times for the 50-year-old and the second time for the Blues.
Mourinho triumphed whilst in charge of FC Porto in 2004 and Inter Milan in 2010, but never guided the west London outfit there.
However, under the guidance of caretaker boss Roberto Di Matteo in 2012, the side did of course lift the most prestigious trophy in Europe.
Now the Portuguese coach wants to reunite the club with the silverware as the team prepare to start their campaign against FC Basel on Wednesday night.
Mourinho: “From my experience if you start the group phase with a win it’s a big step. Doesn’t mean you qualify but it’s a big step.” #CFC

Chelsea had to make do with a Europa League triumph last year, after not even making it out of the group phase when trying to defend their title.
Mourinho meanwhile never managed to get Real Madrid past the semi-finals during three years at the Santiago Bernabeu, but with the manager back at the helm there is certainly positivity surrounding Stamford Bridge.
The Blues’ start in the Premier League has been indifferent, with home wins against Hull City and Aston Villa being followed by a draw with Manchester United and defeat to Everton – as well as a morale-sapping loss to Bayern Munich in the European Super Cup on penalties.
